I generally use TA (as I call it, for obvious reasons) at night when I go to bed. I find that the inflammation is significantly less the next morning, whereas it seems to be worse without any medicine. The swelling does eventually come back through the next day with the regular irritation and the medicine wearing off. I’ve never used it throughout the day because it doesn’t stick to the ulcer as well as, say Orabase, and it being prescription and all, costs quite a bit more so I tend to be more economical and only use it at night.

Less Swelling with
Kenalog

4. Kenalog in Orabase, also known as the
generic name Trimcinolone Acetonide is
a corticosteroid paste for mouth ulcers
and canker sores that is available only
by prescription.

5. I ran into this stuff years ago when a
dentist prescribed this for me, and I’ve
been using it ever since. I’ve been
using it so long, in fact, that I don’t even
need to track the results, I can tell you
straight up how this stuff works and what
it’s good for.

6. Bottom line: It helps reduce the
swelling of canker sores, but not the
length of the sores.

I do plan on giving it a try though to see
if the length of the ulcers would go down
with regular application throughout the
day.

9. One thing this product does NOT do is
reduce pain. There are no pain killers
like benzocaine to numb the area, which
is another reason I don’t carry it on me
during the day. Sometimes I’ve even
put Orabase on there before putting it
on if it’s a real killer ulcer, just so it
doesn’t hurt so much when I go to bed.

10. However, even though it doesn’t have
a pain reducer in the gel, it does
reduce pain through reduced
inflammation. A less-inflamed canker
sore is a happy canker sore (if there is
such a thing – like pointing out a
“good” stab wound), and when you
keep the inflammation down through
TA or other means, the pain is
drastically less.

11. Unswollen canker sore.

12. Aphthasol, on the other hand… I
woke up with my ulcers more swollen
than Kanye West’s ego.
I highly recommend Trimcinolone
Acetonide to anybody who hasn’t
tried it.

13. Give your dentist a call and ask for a
prescription, you shouldn’t have any
trouble. And I’ll give a few ulcers a try
using TA throughout the day and see
what kind of difference that might make.
